Freshmen Give Formal
Reception to Parent.
A most successful reception
for parents was given by the
members of the Freshman Class
on October 22. The reception,
decoration, entertainment, and
refreshment committees eaeh did
their part in making the OC("asion
,nt:llloraUe.
The reception gave the parents
the opportunity of viewing the
ideal surroundings of the college,
of meeting the members of the
faculty, and, last but not least,
of being delightfully entertained.
The program opened with a wel­coming
speech by the president,
Mary LaPalm, which was fol­lowed
by recitations, vocal, and
piano selections. Following this,
refreshments were served. The
indulgent and appreciative guests
complimented the girls on every
feature of the evening's enter­tainment.
Special mention was
made of the tasteful decorations

Dear Editor:
This year when college is lar­ger
and holds so many young
enthusiasts in our new class it
seems to ITlt': that we could, if we
would, have college mean more
to u~ than a place for study. It
is said that youth always thinks
it has to revise and abridge the
world, and perhaps that is my
particular malady, but my world
is here and I have a suggestion
to make regarding an innovation
in it. [wonder if we couldn't
do something along the line of an
Athletic Association. When we
are ill our new college, without
doubt we will have a gymnasium
ouilt for that purpose alone, and
a track for field sports. There­fore,
why not ha\'e an organiza­tion
started and in running order
before we get there?
The Athletic Association woulc1
be an independent organization,
run oy elected officers, and the
curriculum might include swim­ming,
fencing, track, basketball,
baseball, and other sports. Of
course I realize that this would
entail expense for competent
instntction, ina thIS might be
alleviated by a fee which would
pay for membership in the organ­ization,
for dues, and for one or
two courses a week in the sporo
mentioned. One course, such as
fencing, might be private lessons
and the other a class taught by
the gymnasium teacher. Then,
too, such an association would
promote class spirit for inter­class
games. For a certain num­ber
of games played and won
class numerals and "K's" would
be a .... -arded as a recognition of
special honor. This plan is very
successful in many other schools;
don't you think we might try it
here? E. J. H.
Dear E. J. H.:
Indeed it seems as though it
would be a very good thing to try
some such plan as you haye out­lined.
If N. C. is to accomplish
anything in the athletic field, an
association ought to be started to
promote and support the games,
The details could be worked out
as time and circumstances permit
but a start could be made right
now to arouse school and class
interest in basketball. Here is a
chance for the Sophs and Fresh­men,
whose teams are competing
this year, to advance the cause
of inter-class athletics. Let's
hear from them about it.

Dear Editor:
Will you please answer the fol­lowing
questions;
(1) Why do people make faces
when they lick stamps?
(2) How can I become a movie
actress? (1 can cry real tears.)
(3) What does "quiddity"
mean?
(4) I have written a beautiful
play called "The Curse of an
Aching Heart." Can you make
use of it?
(5) Will yOIl please tell me
where the "ladder of success"
may be found? And can I climb
it blindfolded? (Because I always
get dizzy when i look down.)
Please do not forget to answer
any of my questions, especially
numbers 2 and 4.

Freshmen Give Formal
Reception to Parent.
A most successful reception
for parents was given by the
members of the Freshman Class
on October 22. The reception,
decoration, entertainment, and
refreshment committees eaeh did
their part in making the OC("asion
,nt:llloraUe.
The reception gave the parents
the opportunity of viewing the
ideal surroundings of the college,
of meeting the members of the
faculty, and, last but not least,
of being delightfully entertained.
The program opened with a wel­coming
speech by the president,
Mary LaPalm, which was fol­lowed
by recitations, vocal, and
piano selections. Following this,
refreshments were served. The
indulgent and appreciative guests
complimented the girls on every
feature of the evening's enter­tainment.
Special mention was
made of the tasteful decorations
Oil which the committee had
expended so much labor, The
class feels that the compliments
were really sincere and that every
